I don't get to 3000 RPM until 75 MPH in 6th gear, still a little high in my opinion (I think 6th should be a little taller, 2500 RPM at 75 MPH would be nice), but it is hard to argue with 31.2 MPG, especially when I spent most of the trip between 70 and 75 MPH.

I have a 10 year old and 6 year old twins- you need something bigger as long as they are in those pumpkin and/or full size seats. It will be a hassle. I am looking for a 5 but only because my son is out of a seat totally and my girls are just in boosters...love the pilot but gas mileage isn't helpful.
